Things To Be Learned

They say that in life Each day brings things to be newly learned Today at age thirty, I found that to be true From none other than you Though you’re just past four I’d just finished yelling Over some silly wrong I perceived you had done And like adults so many times do I only saw it from my point of view After I left the room I heard you crying When I returned, I found you in the corner On the floor sobbing When I asked what was wrong You said I really didn’t want to know When I convinced you I did Boy, you really let me have it You said I didn’t need to yell That you could understand I didn’t have to scare you That you had feelings too That there are some things you didn’t know Cause after all you were only four It was then I realized, that yes You are a person too And things don’t always look the same From your point of view And that as we go through life, you just like I Have feelings, thoughts, things you don’t understand And so much each day to be newly learned NOTE*** This is from my CD A Father’s Love Letters To listen to the CD please visit http://www.reverbnation.com/#/mikehamill
